I cant drink those protein shakes ! Help



Recommended Posts

I really need a RTD Protein drink I can take to work. My NUT requires it be 100% whey Protein, which takes some out of the running. I tried a lot of the Isopure flavors. I find them more tolerable if I Water them down with equal parts of Water. However, the best ones are black tea and green tea, but they have caffeine in them which is prohibited by my NUT. The weirdest thing is that they make my mouth feel strange, like something is pulling all the moisture out of my mouth.

I tried a sample of the Premier that my NUT gave me, but I would give it a 6 on a scale of 10. I tried Oh Yeah and hated all flavors except for chocolate which I would give a 7 on a scale of 10. If anyone can suggest another good one I would really appreciate it. I tried one flavor of nectar, but did not care for it. I have others I need to try.

For I saw a few mentioned on here that I have never tried, so I am going to check them out. I like the unjury chocolate powder which I mix with some skim milk, unsweetened cocoa powder and ice. I drink that when I am at home and can use a blender, but I need a drink for work.

I absolutely love Hemp Protein powder (I get the hi-Fiber kind). I have to start experimenting more with recipes that call for more plant based Proteins. I feel the best when I eat clean and stay away from as many processed, packaged things. That is why I am leaning more toward making my own shakes instead of the store bought.

Please share recipes as you find them. I love discovering cleaner more veggified foods! I'm going to experiment with making some nut cheeses.

Okay so I know two awesome health and wellness guru's personally in my city. One was a friend and I say WAY because I asked her to help me post op with how to eat and she was very against me having this surgery to the point she was insulting. I haven't spoke to her since BUT I still go to her website and there is soooooooooo much great information on there including recipes. I think she may have a hemp cheese sauce recipe b/c she is always talking about things she makes on FB with cheesy sauce out of hemp. Her website is TatianaAmico.com. Let me know what you thing. I also LOVE her 'my favorite things' tab. I want a food dehydrator to make kale chips, sweet potato chips, and dried fruit chews (later on of course too soon for that). There is another woman named Robbie Raugh (pronounced 'RAW') She is a fitness instructor and health guru. She is always on "Good Morning America" here in the a.m. (T.V show). She is in her 50s and you wouldn't believe this woman's body. Both of these women went to the same college of nutrition (I forget name...Its in California). I have learned a lot from the both of them. Definitely check them out.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
